The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the iSeries Printer utility (bzap.exe) when processing ZAP files. This can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted ".zap" file. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but requires tricking a user into opening a malicious file. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.2C2 Build 1554 (bzap.exe version 5.2.2.1533). Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not open files from untrusted sources. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Reported by Silent_Dream as a DoS only. Additional information about the code execution impact provided by Secunia Research.
